8 Adult Caries 8 Risk Factors Shared by Adults and Children High bacterial counts Family history of caries Frequent eating of sugarcontaining foods Inadequate fluoride Low socioeconomic status Photo: Joanna Douglass, BDS, DDS Photo: John McDowell, DDS
9 Adult Caries 9 Additional Risk Factors Physical disabilities Make brushing and other oral hygiene activities more difficult Existing restoration or appliances Can trap food Most likely site of caries in an adult Photo: Steven Lepowsky, DDS Decreased salivary flow Caused by disease or medication places a patient at a much higher caries risk Medication Increase caries risk by decreasing salivary flow and high levels of sucrose
10 Root Caries 10 Causes In patients with gingival recession tooth roots become progressively more exposed Roots are more susceptible to caries than crowns of teeth With bacteria and a diet high in sugars, caries can develop easily and progress rapidly Treatment Lesions can be prevented or arrested using fluoride containing toothpaste, gels, or varnish Advanced lesions require restoration or extraction Photo: John McDowell, DDS Photo: Robert Henry, DMD, MPH
11 Gingivitis 11 Symptoms Tenderness Erythema Bleeding gums Mild gum swelling Bad breath Causes Plaque buildup Changes in hormone levels Oral foreign bodies Gum inflammation but no destruction of periodontal ligament or bone Treatment Good home hygiene Regular dental visits Photo: John McDowell, DDS Photo: Joanna Douglass, BDS, DDS
12 Periodontitis 12 Causes Chronic plaque exposure causes inflammation which leads to Destruction of periodontal ligament Loss of supporting bone Tooth loosening and loss 16 Treatment Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits Tobacco and other irritants, such as cannabis should be avoided Dental referral for deep root scaling Oral antibiotics and solutions such as chlorhexadine Photo: Efthimia Ioannidou DDS, MDS Photo: John McDowell, DDS

16 Gingival Hyperplasia 16 Symptoms Unsightly gingival enlargement Teeth become hard to clean Increased risk for Periodontitis Causes Poor hygiene Drug induced Underlying systemic disease Treatment Meticulous hygiene Regular cleanings May require gum resection surgery Consider alternative medications Photo: ICOHP Photo: John McDowell, DDS
17 Dental Erosions 17 Symptoms Teeth become smooth and glassy Pulp exposure causes hot and cold sensitivity Causes Bulimia GERD (Gastroesophageal Refulx Disease), or acid reflux Methamphetamine use Acidic drinks Treatment Rinse with water after reflux or vomiting Photo: POHEK Photo: John McDowell, DDS
18 Dryness in the Mouth (Xerostomia) 18 Symptoms Dry mouth Burning sensation Changes in taste Difficulty swallowing and speaking Increased caries experience Etiology Medications Systemic disease (e.g. Sjogrens) and treatment consequences (e.g. Radiation therapy) Treatment Eliminate medications that decrease salivary flow Encourage patients to drink water Advise patients to avoid caffeinated or sugary drinks Recommend use of high concentration topical fluoride Ensure regular dental care and good oral hygiene Recommend over-the-counter salivary substitutes
